Cashback website' launches app to get money back on supermarket shopping with a photo of your receipt

Savvy shoppers can earn cashback on their in-store supermarket shopping by snapping a picture of their receipt and submitting it through an app on their smartphone.

TopCashback's ‘Snap & Save’ scheme, which launched today, gives users the chance to earn up to £5.70 cashback - with the amount that can be claimed changing on a weekly basis.

Shoppers must buy at least one of ten items picked by the cashback websites and then take a photo of their receipt and upload it via the TopCashback mobile app. The app then records that items bought and the user's TopCashback account will be credited with the cashback.

Shop and save: The TopCashback app gives customers the chance to earn money back on items they've bought in-store at supermarkets.

Cashback websites give shoppers money
back on their online purchases but the new initiative from TopCashback
means that even those who only shop in-store can get involved.

In total there are nine weekly offers
and receipts from 8 major supermarkets – Tesco, Sainsbury’s, The
Co-Operative, Morrison’s, Iceland, Asda, Waitrose and M&S – can be
submitted.

Customers must have an Android or iPhone smartphone to download the app and register with TopCashback to take part.

For each offer a separate photo of the receipt will need to be submitted. And to make a claim customers will need the date and time of purchase, name of the supermarket and the item purchased that eligible for cashback.

Cashback will be tracked within seven days and then be immediately available for customers to withdraw. Each offer can only be redeemed once per week.

Another cashback website Quidco has a mobile app which pays shoppers between 5p and 25p to ‘check in’ at stores. For example, shoppers in Miss Selfridge will get 5p per visit and those going to New Look can get 25p.

The app is free to download but Quidco members pay £5 a year from their earnings back to the website as a membership fee.
